Estefan writes the words on fifteen of the eighteen tracks and the music on exactly one, "Famous". Every other song sets her lyric against somebody else's melody, and the melodies come from three separate camps: John Falcone, Sebastian Krys and Jon Secada handle the pop material, Gian Marco supplies four songs with Peruvian folk coloring, and the Panamanian brothers Alberto and Ricardo Gaitán write two with her husband. The four Spanish-language tracks at the end reverse the arrangement. "Hoy" and "Mientras Tanto" are Gian Marco's words and music outright, and "Tu Fotografía" pairs his melody with a lyric by Emilio Estefan, so three of the songs on her own album belong to other writers entirely.
Estefan's tenth solo studio album, cut at Crescent Moon Studios in Miami and released by Epic on September 22, 2003. It was her first English-language studio record since gloria! in 1998, tracked live in the room with no brass section, and the first of her albums built around acoustic playing. Four Spanish-language recordings close it, three of them written by the Peruvian songwriter Gian Marco.
